This entire military is 1 cohesive dedicated force and the
1:04
threats to our nations, they don't sleep.
1:07
They're watching our every move. Iran, Russia, China, North
1:13
Korea, ISIS, Al Qaeda, they may be watching this right now.
1:20
Our military should not be mistaken for our cable news
1:23

1:26
like. You don't care who you voted.
1:28
For. Who you worship, What you
1:30

1:33
left you millions when he died or if you knew who your father
1:37
was. We have been honed into a
1:40
machine of lethal moving parts that you would be wise to avoid
1:45
if you know what's good for you. We will not be intimidated.
1:49
We will not back down. We've seen war.
1:53
We don't want war, but if you want war with the United States
1:57
of America, there's one thing I can promise you.
1:59

2:14
Talk. Hey thanks for tuning.
2:19
In welcome are those of the speakers and do not necessarily

2:27
Find. Us on the web at MB radio dot
2:30
US. Hello friends, I'm Kent Skelton
2:44
and I'm so glad you are here. Together we can battle this
2:48
struggle and find freedom from it.
2:49
All Life is continuous and it would be ridiculous to say that
2:53
you or I don't experience those seconds, minutes, hours, or days
2:58
that seem like they'll never end.
3:00
Time continues on regardless of how we feel or what we
3:04
experience. We search longingly for a way to
3:08
handle and navigate through these situations we are
3:11
experiencing. There has to be.
3:16
Hello everybody. Happy birthday MBR.
3:20
Happy birthday military broadcast.
3:23
That's right, happy birthday. MBR.
3:27
And happy Armed Forces Day. Yes, yes.
3:30
Happy birthday. Happy.
3:32
Birthday. Hey.
3:33
Hi, baby. Hey, so we got man, we got
3:40
different services recognized right here today.
3:43
I'm Air Force. I know we got another Air Force.
3:46
Who else we got? Army.
3:49
Army. OK, All right.
3:54
Hey, so anyway, we got Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines,
3:59
Coast Guard, Space Force, Space Command.
4:02
We've got everybody you know involved in their podcast host
4:07
or listeners here on military broadcast radio.
4:10
And better than all else, we've even got the silly billions from
4:14
all around the country. And the citizens are the
4:17
patriots, the one that helped support the military.
4:20
And we're all in this fight together.
4:23
And we all know that freedom from struggle.
4:27
As you know, it's a show we normally air talk on Saturdays
4:31
and it's for anyone with any type of hurt habit or hang up.
4:35
Today we're talking about the title was a mic as a mid.
4:41
Excuse me, what are you talking about there?
4:44
Well, a Mike and a mid. We got an online therapeutic
4:49
prescription and I see that in the way of military broadcast
4:53
radio acting as a host, as my fellow host here of various
4:58
shows on military broadcast radio, we have I believe over 30
5:02
shows. And so this is just a small
5:07
group of the post, but nevertheless, we are host on the
5:12
podcast on the MBR and it's therapeutic for me.
5:17
I can attest to that. And I believe and I hope it's
5:20
therapeutic for other hosts as it is for our listeners.
5:25
And so we kind of want to just talk about that today.
5:27
You know, I've got the Freedom for Struggle show and we're here
5:30
today, but we have Tracer to my left.
5:34
And Tracer, what do you think? I mean, what do you, what do
5:38
you? I'm trying to make sure I look
5:39
the right direction. Tracer.
5:43
But you have a show on military broadcast radio.
5:46
You also serve as one of our officers.
5:49
Can you share a little bit about yourself?
5:52
So yeah, I'm a 33 1/2 year Army Reserve veteran and I just
5:57
retired in December and military broadcast radio has been a
6:02
godsend for me because I already missed the military connection
6:06
and this is my conduit to reach that audience again or, or feel
6:10
that can sense of community again.
6:11
And it's really helped me to, you know, vocalize what I'm
6:16
thinking and what I'm feeling versus just bottling it up.
6:20
And it gives my guests and, and the organizations that I have on
6:24
my show an opportunity to really speak their truth and really get
6:27
their message out there. So I feel like it, it not only
6:30
helps me, but it helps the people that we're serving and,
6:33
and out in the audience and then helps our guests to, to really,
6:37
you know, gravitate towards putting their message out in
6:41
the, in the veteran community and to really help themselves at
6:45
the same time. That's awesome, Tracer, Thank
6:48
you for sharing that with us and Jose with a motivated mindset.
6:53
I know you've got a show that's coming up and you're going to
6:56
announce that and hopefully people will continue to stay,
6:59
stay on and watch your show immediately following Freedom
7:02
from Struggle. But go ahead, Jose.
7:04
Tell us a little bit about about yourself and what you think of
7:07
military broadcast radio. Yeah, get by something to my
7:10
Latino family out there. What's up?
7:15
So I first of all, I want to thank my my brothers and sisters
7:19
here. They've been a lifeline for me.
7:22
And my podcast is about the motivating mindset, why people
7:26
do what they do, the why in a nutshell, you know, so it's been
7:29
it's been a lifeline for me. I served 30 years in the Army.
7:34
And for those of us who served, when you first get out,
7:36
sometimes I know what it feels to be unheard, you know, unseen
7:40
and so on. And when I, when I wanted to do
7:42
a podcast, I wasn't sure how to do it.
7:44
But when I found military broadcast radio, it felt good.
7:48
You know, for listeners, I would tell you that it provides an
7:53
authentic, raw, real thing. And the thing I think that it's
7:57
live is so cool beans because you can ask questions and so on
8:01
and people can answer and you know, for.
8:04
For. For podcasters, why should they
8:06
join? Because hey, it's you're not
8:10
just broadcasting. You know, what you're doing is
8:12
you're building bridges, you know, you're lifting spirits,
8:15
you know, you have a communicate, a communicated
8:17
communicate communicator, better momento.
8:20
I mean, my Spanish community, you like that?
8:24
How you doing? So, yeah, so NBR has been so
8:30
awesome for me and I really appreciate it.
8:33
And like Red said, right after this, I have a another show
8:36
where I have which deals with domestic violence and I have
8:39
somebody. So yeah.
8:40
But bottom line, upfront, NBR has been a lifesaver.
8:43
I've enjoyed it and I've learned a lot.
8:45
So that's that's how I look at it.
8:47
Yes, Sir. Man, Jose, I really appreciate
8:51
that and and I'm glad you come back on here with us and getting
8:55
back into the in the normal routine of things and really
8:59
happy, really happy that you're there.
9:01
He Eva, Eva Fulton, she's my Co host normally on the show here
9:06
at freedom from struggle and I always thankful for Eva.
9:10
But what have you got going on? What's military broadcast radio
9:12
to you? You know, it's a lot.
9:15
I mean, it's, it's another Ave. of sharing my voice.
9:19
You know, it took me a long time to find my voice as a veteran,
9:23
just understanding that as as a female that my voice counted to
9:28
my representation kind of too. It took me a long time to
9:31
understand that I could put that hat on.
9:34
So I enjoy sharing my, my journey from pain to purpose.
9:40
You know, yesterday Jose and I were out in DC recruiting other
9:44
veterans and other organizations to either become hosts and
9:49
finding their voice. Some were hesitant, you know,
9:51
believe that there was a the myth of I've got to have all
9:55
this equipment before I get started.
9:57
And I told him, no, you could get started with your phone.
10:00
You know, it's just as simple as that.
10:02
So don't be a naysayer and think that I, I have to have, you
10:07
know, the whole kit and caboodle to do it because we're going to
10:10
help you every step of the way. So, you know, it's not just my
10:14
voice, but helping other people find their voices was a big,
10:17
huge deal. Right, right.
10:20
Hey, I see a lot of great comments coming in.
10:23
I saw one from Zia. He just got back in the country
10:26
from abroad and he threw somebody a salute.
10:30
And hey, appreciate it, Zia. And.
10:34
And my show is on after Jose's. Stay tuned.
10:39
And Amber is on after that. We have a great lineup tonight
10:42
like we. Have Yeah, they.
10:44
Programming. We're honest.
10:46
We. Just had Trucker's mouth played
10:48
a little bit early, like an hour prior to this show.
10:51
And then we got Jose, then Eva, and then what did you say?
10:54
Amber follows that. Yep.
10:56
Wow. Hey, happy birthday, Military
10:58
broadcast radio. That's right.
11:01
Representing. Hey, and Speaking of that real
11:04
quick HH train people know that HR nightmare that appears that
11:12
appears on military broadcast radio so often.
11:17
We love him to death. He's he's a lot of ours mentor.
11:21
He he got us started with this. He's taught us and hopefully
11:26
we're showing him that we've learned a little bit, Okay.
11:30
And us too. We are crazy about military
11:32
broadcast radio and happy birthday to MBR.
11:36
But H, we get, man, a lot of thanks to you, brother.
11:39
Lot of thanks to you. And we're sorry that you're not
11:42
feeling as well today as normal. Y'all think I sound bad?
11:47
I listen to H on on a phone call a little earlier.
11:51
He's in worse shape than I am and he feels bad.
11:54
I'm. Not kissing each other, man.
11:56
At least I'm not feeling bad. There he is.
12:00
Yeah. These long, distant kisses, you
12:03
know, I mean, hey, hey, hey, fellow host.
12:11
So no mono here, just struggling with the crud.
12:16
There he goes. H Train has another person he's
12:20
seen in the picture right there or her in the picture with him
12:24
and she's she's that extra support right behind him.
12:28
Is that right, Host? I believe she is.
12:32
I believe she is. I know she is because she puts
12:35
up with H to put up with us. So that's a beautiful thing.
12:39
I love Tony's comment down there if you see that.
12:41
What's that, Tony? Joel, HR deserves so much credit
12:44
and appreciation. I know he cares so much about us
12:47
and our success, but he is the foundation that helps a lot of
12:51
us succeed. No doubt about it.
12:53
He deserves all the love. Thanks for that comment, Tony.
12:56
There's no doubt about that. No doubt about it.

Eva Not Eva. I'm sorry, Eva, I've already
20:05
talked to you. Eva.
20:07
Amber. Amber.
20:10
What's going on? So you got a show coming on too,
20:13
right? Yes, Sir, I have.
20:16
Today's show is actually about the death of a young man, a
20:22
young black man in Potsdam, NY who passed away.
20:26
That is suspicious. And so we spoke to his mother,
20:31
interviewed her and just got her take on the whole situation.
20:36
So, but yes, I usually talk about like true crime or talk
20:42
about interesting or talk to interesting people or the
20:46
paranormal or Prison Reform. Right, right, right.
20:51
Lots of good stuff. And hey, and how have you found
20:54
military broadcast radio? Has it it has it been a are
20:58
using a mic as a Med? Has it been therapeutic in any
21:01
way for you, your follower, or your followers?
21:04
Yeah, it's for me, definitely. It has been I most of you guys
21:10
know I was in bed for 6 1/2 years with debilitating
21:13
migraines and I had just come out of that when I found MBR.
21:19
And so this has been a way to jump start my life again, get me
21:25
back into the world and get me using my brain again.
21:30
You know 6 1/2 years of hiatus. You know of actually like
21:34
forming my own thoughts and opinions.
21:36
It yeah, it was a lot, you know, to go from that to now just
21:42
coming on here and realizing that that I can think again and
21:49
I can use my mind again where I thought, you know, that I wasn't
21:52
going to be able to for a long time.
21:54
So it has been a huge blessing to me and I one of my issues is
22:01
PTSD and it, it's some, for some reason it, it happens when I
22:07
drive and for the first time in like almost 10 years, I drove 22
22:15
miles by myself. And that is a huge
22:20
accomplishment for me. So I am just thankful for MBR
22:24
for that. Well, I thank you, Amber.
22:28
And I know, I know, I know what you're saying.
22:30
I've been through some of those things.
22:33
Thankfully I wasn't confined to a bed, you know, and stuff like
22:36
that. But I have suffered from the
22:38
migraines and, you know, numerous other things.
22:41
Because I'm going to share a little bit in a few minutes, MJ.
22:44
Yes, Sir. I'm so happy you're here with us
22:47
today. All of my hippie forum today.
22:50
You caught me off guard. Bring it on, Bring it on.
22:52
Hipster. One of the most hip of the
22:56
bunch. Wow, you're.
22:58
Blessed. MJMJ share with us please.
23:01
I will. To share, I I do a show called a
23:05
conscious positive. It's a flip on egos and
23:08
judgments that has been corrupted by man for countless
23:12
times of reality and it's time of an awareness for the world to
23:17
come into a positive. So basically what that means is
23:20
we flip every single negative situation that we encounter and
23:24
we make it a +1 as a life learning lesson to gain that
23:27
much more relativity to father mother God.
23:30
That's what I do. All righty MJ and I know and
23:34
I've listened a lot of times and it come you come up with some
23:37
really great topics, you know, on the show.
23:40
I know that. What time does it normally air
23:42
again? Monday's at 9:00 AM to 11:00 and
23:46
I invite anybody who has any type of trauma line, including
23:51
TBI's or PTSD. That way I use a lot of my
23:56
stories and encouraging people just to open up and not to be
24:00
judged. So I I started working with PTSD
24:05
vets when I was doing in Miami as a spiritual counselor to try
24:10
to dive into a realm that the psychologist who would hand them
24:14
to me couldn't really get to get them to open up.
24:17
So I, I was, I love MBR. In fact, I was at my doctor
24:23
wrote in to Jewel about what I was doing in Miami.
24:27
And Joel reached out and I I thought it was a joke.
24:32
I said, what are you talking about?
24:34
And he's like, well, didn't you write in?
24:36
I said no. And then we found out who it was
24:39
who who actually wrote in for me.
24:42
And so I told him, well, I do do already lives.
24:45
I said for people to help them. And I said I'd be I'd be happy
24:49
to get the word out to more military vets.
24:52
So for me, MBR has been such a rehabilitation revocation, not
24:59
just for me, but for people who have a lot of guilt, shame,
25:03
anxiety, fear that they don't want to put out in public.
25:07
So behind the scenes in our emails or my texts or my DMS, I
25:12
do they, they do reach back. And as Joel says, he goes, MJ,
25:17
you're making a difference. He goes, that's a hard topic.
25:19
He goes, none of us really want to talk and I go, no, that's the
25:24
biggest thing talking and like you're doing, I said just create
25:28
an open. You have to speak it.
25:30
You have to get it out in order for it to become and just a
25:34
beautiful, positive moment of time.
25:39
Amen. That's right.
25:39
And that's, you know, the same way with, with us with this
25:42
show, you know, it's generally for anyone with any hurts,
25:46
habits or hang ups, you know, and I'll go through those 12
25:49
step programs that are very similar to Alcoholics Anonymous,
25:53
Narcotics Anonymous step programs.
25:57
Of course, ours is that I try to do as a faith-based type step
26:00
program. And it is so true to speak
26:03
things out, you know, to, to ask for forgiveness when it's
26:06
appropriate or or otherwise, you know, make make amends to people
26:12
and things. And that's so important.
26:14
I wanted to also recognize the motivated mindset, not motivated
26:18
mindset. I'm sorry, but Don, Don is in
26:21
the background. He's taking care of business and
26:25
with a, with a one of his children.
26:28
And but we thank Don for being here.
26:30
He's titled the good servant and look forward to hearing more of
26:34
his programs and him him being on MBR with other hosts.
26:39
And we look forward to hearing that we just had our buddy from
26:43
the West Coast right. That's correct, of course.
26:49
Tell us a little bit fair we're listen Farhon we're here today
26:53
talking about military broadcast radio.
26:56
It's our birthday this weekend and I was kind of struck trying
27:01
to surprise each of you guys as host bringing the own here
27:04
together. So you know meeting of the minds
27:07
around Reds round table. I don't see anything round about
27:10
this except maybe portions of my head, but that's right.
27:16
But hey, you know, my title today was the Mic is in the Med,
27:20
you know, the online therapeutic prescription.
27:23
Is that for real? Do you think that's legitimate
27:25
to say that? Definitely how I got to be here
27:29
in front of you today, man. For sure, right.
27:32
I, I mean, when I found Internet radio in 2009, going into 2010,
27:38
I was, I was lost and only, only because a friend of mine said,
27:44
Hey, you should go because I was a huge sports fan back then.
27:48
And so they were like, you should go do a sports show
27:50
online or something. I was like, what are you talking
27:51
about? Like, oh, the other guys blog
27:52
talk or something. And, and literally that that
27:56
show kept me limited to the future of that next episode,
28:00
which kept me alive. Wow.
28:02
OK, that right there, that's powerful.
28:05
That's. Chilling type.
28:07
Chilling type stuff and I agree wholeheartedly.
28:10
Like I said, I'm, I am a man. I'm a grateful believer in Jesus
28:16
Christ. OK, That's and that's how I
28:18
start my shows usually. I'm a grateful believer in Jesus
28:21
Christ. I am celebrating my recoveries
28:24
from alcoholism over 30 years. I'm celebrating some great gains
28:31
and wins over anxiety, over depression and so many other
28:37
things that I can't perform. You know, I'm just, I'm not that
28:41
guy That's anywhere close to 100% anymore where I can, you
28:47
know, serve the military, although I have, and I feel this
28:50
is kind of a way that we can still be kind of in the mix with
28:54
the blue suitors, the green suitors kind of still be in the
28:58
fight in a sense, You know, the camaraderie We have a lot of us
29:02
as disabled veterans, as as former military, as just
29:06
veterans and whether it's wartime or not.
29:11
And, and, and just how hype I am on recommending this for other
29:18
folks. They're veterans that might have
29:20
a have a feeling that they want to get on my air, whether it be
29:24
as a podcast host, which you can completely learn how to do that.
29:29
I've learned how to do it somewhat might not be the
29:32
greatest, but I can do it and I'm willing to press record
29:35
right. And we have the folks that are
29:38
around like yourself since 2009 H train that's been around since
29:43
I believe even earlier in the 2000s, maybe O four O 5, I want
29:48
to say, plus he's got a degree in broadcasting.
29:51
I'm not not sure what everybody else has, but we have the talent
29:56
to teach each other and teach, you know, we're all experts in
30:00
some way or another with some type of talent, OK with
30:06
broadcasting, with speaking in public or might be in, in
30:12
holistic healing. It might be in, you know, so
30:15
many different areas. And by us bringing this together
30:20
and sharing with each other, with each other, the
30:23
camaraderie, you know, and the support for one another, knowing
30:27
that we have, we're like minded. OK, We come from the same type
30:31
thing, although we're human anyway.
30:33
We come from the same type, no doubt about it.
30:35
But we are in a position, military broadcast radio to give
30:41
veterans a voice. And that is that's what the
30:44
amazing thing is. And it's been so good for me, I
30:48
believe just by being, you know, having having to keep attention
30:52
to something on a regular basis. And and you know, it's, it's
30:56
always about helping others. We're helping other folks while
31:00
we help ourselves. We're not keeping secrets from
31:03
other people. We're letting people know what's
31:05
helped us. And I urge anybody that's out
31:08
there and hears about military podcast radio, set up
31:13
appointment, e-mail the station and just learn more about it,
31:18
whether you want to be a podcast host yourself or you'd like to
31:21
be just seen on a show or you'd like to honor somebody else.
31:25
And there's ways to support military broadcast radio.
31:28
I thank everybody else that's out there on it.
31:31
And you guys, what what else we got Tracer?
31:34
I mean, what, what, when's your next show?
31:37
When does it air? I want to point something out.
31:40
It is on Wednesday at 4:00 PM Pacific Time.
31:44
OK. But one of the things that that
31:46
you're talking about for me is, well, it's important because
31:48
when we talk about suicide awareness and suicide prevention
31:51
and these kind of conversations, they say that like a fire that
31:54
takes three elements. And those three elements are the
31:58
degree of planning, the intensity of wanting to live or
32:02
die, and the amount of distress that the person is in, right?
32:06
And if you can interrupt one of those three, you will not
32:10
complete your life, right? You have to, if not that, you
32:13
have to. But if you can interrupt one of
32:15
those, and that's what, you know, this Internet radio did
32:18
for me, interrupt one of those for me each time.
32:21
Each time it was a different thing, right?
32:23
Each time it was a different one of those those three pieces.
32:26
But I always was able to live into the future of that next
32:29
episode and not want to, you know, thought about it, but not
32:35
wanted to actually go through the process and and and I had a
32:38
level of mental toughness. I play basketball, play sports.
32:41
And so having a level of mental toughness already, I knew that
32:44
there was something there, but how I was experiencing life at
32:48
that moment was really different.
32:50
And so I want our brothers and sisters to know that you do have
32:53
that strength in you already. You just got to maybe find
32:57
something or find someone that you can have confidence in that
33:00
won't slander your name and open up to that person and really
33:03
share because most of us are afraid to be judged right
33:06
already. And when I went to God, like I
33:09
asked the Holy Spirit, like, what is it beyond judgement?
33:12
And I remember when I was in radio school, one of the
33:15
promises that we made was not to slander a person's name because
33:18
you can interview someone, chop that interview up into different
33:22
ways and have that person sound like a total, total crook.
33:28
The way that you edit that that audio, right?
33:31
And when I heard that, I was like, wow, that's serious.
33:34
And so I always kind of had that in the background of making sure
33:36
that I wasn't that kind of person that would edit up a show
33:40
or change the way a person's context of how they said
33:42
something. Because slander is worse than
33:45
being judged. Right, right.
33:48
Hey, I appreciate you saying all that.
33:50
And, and that is well versed, I mean well versed and I, I'm
33:56
guessing some of these other media folks that you might see
33:59
on a regular TV and stuff might have missed that message
34:02
somewhere. And you can tell sometimes you
34:06
don't know what to believe. And I'm just thankful that
34:08
we're, we're not in a situation like that.
34:11
We're not throwing words in people's mouth.
34:13
We are just simply telling the truth, trying to help each
34:18
other's as we help ourselves and how we can grow together.
34:23
And I'm I'm amazed by it. Me and me and Mji believe and
34:28
Tracer has to be right there at the same time and Amber, we're
34:31
all right there around that one year mark.
34:34
Yes, you know what I mean? I guess 11 to 13 or 14 months
34:39
anyway. And Oh my gosh, the things that
34:44
I have learned in the past year, the third, the things that have
34:48
have reversed, they've reversed from a negative to a positive
34:54
just from meeting you guys, you know, and that is just, that's
34:58
just amazing. And John Shine made a comment.
35:02
Only God will judge in the end. And that is so true.
35:05
We're not to judge, you know, and only guy will judge in the
35:09
end. Anybody else tracing?
35:11
You got anything you'd like to share real quick?
35:15
You know, I just, I learned from all of you every day and we have
35:18
so many great hosts and we are serving so many different
35:23
people. You know, like we each have our
35:25
own lane and we're all serving different demographics.
35:28
So to collectively we're hitting a lot of different people and
35:31
we're really making a difference in my opinion.
35:33
You know, we've helped a lot of people over this past year.
35:36
Like you said, I've learned a lot.
35:38
Do I know everything about broadcasting and about Internet
35:41
radio? No, I do not.
35:43
But we're all able to come together and we're all able to
35:47
share this platform and we're all able to get our message out.
35:50
And I think NBR is the conduit that all of us are using to do
35:52
that. And I, you know, I celebrate the
35:54
fact that we get to do this. And I think it's an honor to get
35:57
to talk to all the people we talk to.
35:59
And whenever and like for Ron's point, you know, whenever I
36:03
interview a guest, I always tell them upfront, look, I'm not here
36:06
with any agenda at all. You tell me what you want to
36:09
tell me and we'll talk about what you want to talk about.
36:11
And if something makes you uncomfortable, you pivot because
36:14
we don't want to talk about anything that makes you
36:15
uncomfortable and puts you in a in that position.
36:17
So I'm not here for my own, for my own edification.
36:21
I'm here for yours. I'm here to give you a platform
36:23
and to give you a voice. And so that's what really
36:26
military broadcast radio is. It's giving people a voice, not
36:29
only us as host, but our guests. Yeah.
36:33
Right. I like that, Eva.
36:35
Yeah, there was a a huge take away that I had yesterday.
36:40
There was one part that I gave to the audience because I was a
36:44
panelist. That was the title of it was
36:47
where's my mic? And you know, I shared that, you
36:52
know, as as not only as host, but you know, a lot of times our
36:57
guests also we're sharing, you know, particular vulnerability
37:02
and being very authentic with what what we're saying on the
37:06
mic. But the other, the other
37:09
panelist that I was with his, his name is Sarge.
37:12
I think it's Manning is his last name.
37:14
Sarge Manning. He's on LinkedIn, so shout out
37:17
to him. But he said, I guess in his
37:20
research that there were three things that most of these
37:23
podcasts or radio shows are going to be about.
37:27
And it's probably something that we can probably even bring home
37:31
for us. And it's inform, educate and
37:35
inspire. So we're even, you know, passing
37:39
out some and kind of information and, and, you know, informing
37:44
people about programs that are available or educating them
37:48
about, you know, our program that how do they apply for
37:52
something? What benefits do they have?
37:55
And then inspire somebody, you know, for some kind of
37:59
transformation that hopefully that they're making so that
38:03
they're not making an irreversible choice, that, you
38:07
know, we're all here to help make sure that those numbers
38:10
from 22 keep dropping and don't go the other way.
38:14
Absolutely. Right.
38:16
That's right. That's exactly right.
38:18
And Amber. Yeah, I just as far as podcasts
38:24
go and, and being a host, I try to bring stories that educate
38:33
and inspire, but also, you know, I try to bring awareness to
38:41
injustice and things like that. And I've been so thankful that
38:45
MBR has given me that ability to do that.
38:49
I've always done it as a, you know, from 7 years old, I can
38:52
remember dealing with the police and all the way up till now, you
38:57
know, I, I feel like, well, I know God has prepared me
39:03
throughout my whole life and the interactions that I've had.
39:07
And it's like now I have the ability to bring these stories
39:12
out and I just want to do justice to everybody.
39:16
And I just want, I want people to live a better life, you know,
39:23
and that's what I'm trying to do.
39:25
And I'm just so thankful that NBR has allowed me to do that.
39:28
And I just try to be a blessing. Right.
39:31
OK. Exactly.
39:33
MJ anything else real quick on that like that?
39:37
I therapeutic wise, any time that you get to speak aloud is
39:43
that it's healing the soul and it's healing that trauma to
39:47
release itself and MBR. We have to remember that every
39:55
single person who is a DJ on here or a visitor, they're
40:00
speaking what we call their truths, right?
40:02
So when we tell them, I always tell people, it might not be
40:06
your truth, but it's my truth. So we have to remember we're
40:10
real people, every single one of us are.
40:12
We lived our life in our own journey and when we live our
40:15
life in our own journey. My truth might not resonate with
40:19
somebody else's truth, whether they haven't learned the life
40:22
lesson or whether I haven't learned the life lesson.
40:25
That they're trauma, but they're all trauma patterns or life
40:29
lessons. MBR again that voice to go out
40:34
to the 90 + 1000 people who listen.
40:39
Good for you and take what you need and leave the rest that you
40:42
don't. That's right, That's that's
40:44
right. That's fair enough.
40:46
That's fair enough. Turn the channel, scroll on if
40:48
you, you know, I mean, and catch the next episode or the next
40:51
show that's coming on. Look, I know, you know, you said
40:56
we don't have an agenda and stuff like that.
40:57
I got an agenda. Well, I'm going to share.
40:59
I got a little agenda. No, it's a strategy.
41:02
I have a strategy. Today, let me tell you my
41:05
agenda. No, you got one too.
41:07
No listen. Listen.
41:09
This my show, this show that I do freedom from struggle.
41:13
And it's, it's not only for myself.
41:16
I want it to be for everybody, OK?
41:19
And like I said, I'm a grateful believer in Jesus Christ.
41:22
And my agenda for one thing is to share my faith, you know, and
41:26
to share my trust and Jesus Christ, you know, and God sent
41:32
his Son to die on the cross to save me and you, everyone from
41:37
their sins, you know, and all we have to do is really believe in
41:40
him and have everlasting life. Now, there's things that go on
41:44
with that. And I would like to think part
41:47
of this, my show is somewhat of a ministry where I'm practicing
41:51
in a sense that Great Commission type stuff where I'm still
41:56
trying to share it out there with other people, but also to
41:59
do that in an, you know, in a pleasant way, a nice way.
42:03
You can't force anything on somebody.
42:05
You can carry a horse of water, which can't make them drink And,
42:09
and we know that. But I do want to know where I,
42:12
where people, where I find my hope, where, where, where I find
42:17
my, my rescue from the all demons that I've faced, you
42:22
know, and, and I say demons, I mean in the way of depression,
42:25
anxiety, bad habits, bad thoughts and this type of stuff.
42:32
And, and I just want to share with people that there is hope.
42:35
There is a light tunnel. You just have to you search for
42:41
it and you ask and it's just it, it's really a simple, it's
42:47
really a simple thing, although it can be so difficult to make
42:52
that decision and what like for I was saying you have to
42:57
interrupt these other things. And when we got these other
43:00
things, we got me mine, mine on our mind.
43:03
It's sometimes it's hard to forget about they me's want me
43:07
enjoy this. I'm wanting to do that.
43:09
I want to experience this. I don't want to be left out, you
43:13
know, and sometimes it's really best to be left out and some
43:17
things and be on a different path and you, some of your best
43:21
friends are on and to straight stay on that straight and narrow
43:25
and not to get out in the briars, if you will.
43:27
Look, let's have a word real quick again from our sponsor and
43:30
we're going to come right back and we'll be closing out the
43:33
show. So y'all stay tuned, stay it,
43:35
stay with us. Grab yourself a cup of water if
43:38
you need to turn the volume up so you can hear the music while

the word late, you know, because this was kind of like a surprise
49:22

49:23
surprise everybody really, but and it worked a little bit, but

He just popped in and said hello.
50:22
Hello, buddy. Y'all.
50:23
Listen, we had. I'll just tell you this real
50:26
quick, Last week or not last week, Wednesday night, I believe
50:29
it was right here in Meridian, Ms. I don't know if anybody
50:33
watches the American Idol, but there's this guy named Jamal.
50:38
And I know they have a lot of talented individuals on there,
50:41
but this gentleman named Jamal, he's from Meridian, Ms. and he's
50:46
an educator, OK? He works in the schools,
50:49
probably mid 30s I believe. But that joker can sing, he has
50:56
some talent, and if y'all get a chance, y'all ought to.
50:59
You ought to look, check out American Idol and check him out.
51:03

Says Nick Bernice. What's that?
51:07
That's our DJ Nick. Oh, DJ Nick.
51:10
OK, I can't even say all that. Nick.
51:12
Bernice Pitsagoni. How's that for Meridian speech?
51:20
I speak Southernese, y'all. Give me a break.
51:22
OK. Hey, you know, but anyway,
51:27
listen, I want to thank everybody again for being here.
51:30
Let's take about a minute, a minute a piece.
51:32
Tracy, you got anything else you need to share with everybody?
51:37
If you're wanting to join a join a podcast or be on a podcast or
51:41
host a podcast or do music, reach out because we're always
51:45
looking for a new talent, new veterans to highlight, and just
51:49
new people to add to our platform.
51:51
So we're happy to have you. Absolutely.
51:53
And everybody be welcome, welcomed with open arms, right
51:56
MJ? What you got?
51:58
Invite what you got. So, you know, MBR is a stepping
52:03
stone and there has been a lot of really, really good DJs who
52:08
got picked up for stations or other things.
52:11
So this truly is a a beautiful stepping stone and figure out,
52:18
is it truly something that you want?
52:20
Is it truly something that you can get your message across?
52:22
So I can't sit here and know that there are people who
52:27
absolutely went through this and they are they're on their way
52:32
into a rehabilitation. And the ones that reach out, we
52:36
have some sports people who left.
52:38
We have Griz, we have Matt, I mean Goose, these people all
52:42
went on their own beyond. So remember, just because you're
52:47
here and you don't know anything about it doesn't mean that you
52:51
have a life purpose, sole purpose.
52:52
It could be a change for you. That's right.
52:56
Let's mention in that. Let's hear from our guy down
52:58
here, the other guy that's on the podcast with me today.
53:02
What's happening? What's happening?
53:04
You've been in this for quite a while, I know.
53:06
When you're not only on military broadcast radio, Is that
53:10
correct? Yeah, that's correct.
53:12
Let's hear it. I have a show on AMFM radio
53:16
Sunday nights at 8:00 PM on KCA radio.
53:19
It's the Ferrand Dozier show, just another edition that I've
53:22
been doing since 2021 over there.
53:26
But yeah, I've been on a bunch of different networks over time
53:31
and I came on an interview randomly over here in 2021 and
53:37
fell in love with the conversation, fell in love with
53:39
H and they they invited me to do a show back then.
53:43
But I had so many other shows that I didn't even know how to,
53:49
you know, do another episode because I had my military show
53:52
on hold kind of. And so when there was a military
53:55
network here, again, God aligns everything because by sickle
53:59
cell trade advocacy work, Denver is one of the worst places a
54:03
person with sickle cell trade could live because of the
54:06
altitude. And so just connecting all those
54:09
different dots, just, you know, after a couple years, I was
54:13
like, you know what, let me go ahead and, and see what they
54:15
talking about over there. So I brought my military show
54:17
Trench Talk here in 2024 and just had a blast and just truly
54:22
blessed to, again, for me, it's therapy because I was taught
54:27
that as a soldier, civilians don't understand us, right?
54:32
And, and they drilled that into US and basic training and just
54:35
through my whole career and coming out of the military back
54:38
into this civilian lifestyle or wanted to create a space of
54:42
relatedness. And even even us as veterans, we
54:45
forget that we were people 1st. And so sometimes that human
54:49
connection, how we talk, how we objectify and label one another,
54:53
it really disconnects us from the experiences.
54:57
And when I saw my life in other people in 20, 2010, 2011, I knew
55:04
that we're not different. And so that's really what I do,
55:07
is have that relating this conversation with people.
55:10
I appreciate that. That's good, good, good stuff.
55:12
Amber, real quick, we're going to have to sign off here in just
55:15
a couple minutes, but you got something else you'd like to
55:20
announce or to let everybody know about?
55:23
You know, no, I would just encourage everybody who is
55:26
listening, who's a veteran or first responder who can actually
55:31
come on board NPR. You know, if you have been
55:34
sitting there watching podcasts or YouTube videos for years and
55:39
you think, man, I could do that or, or I've had an interesting
55:43
life and I can share my life. Go ahead and do it.
55:47
You know, I mean, we're here to help you succeed.
55:51
And so just please reach out to us because it will change your
55:56
life for the better, I believe. Right.
55:57
And we do that, but we, and just saying that, I know we also we
56:01
have faceless shows where it's just the voice, right and
56:05
straight, you just see the screen.
56:07
But where it can be listened to or viewed either way, whether
56:11
it's on a laptop or cell phones or even just on a yeah, just
56:16
just be a like radio type voice only.
56:20
And which that's pretty cool because some people don't want
56:22
to get in front of a camera. So you don't necessarily have to
56:25
get in front of the camera and but it's nice to see faces.
56:30
There's no doubt about that. But I too, I encourage folks to
56:33
jump in and and be a part MJ. Would you want to say one other
56:37
thing? I did.
56:37
I just really want to thank every single artist who supplies
56:41
us with their music for people to hear their story and to
56:46
resonate with that. That that is so true too.
56:49
And if you want to your music played on military broadcast
56:52
radio, you can also reach out if you want to, you know, provide
56:55
some of your music and entertainment that we can
56:57
entertain people with. And I believe, I believe with
57:01
that, that's most everything that I was really could have a
57:05
wish for today on a show to to help promote each other's shows,
57:11
to promote military broadcast radio, to let people know
57:15
they're invited to join us, whether as a actual host or a DJ
57:21
or just being a guest on a show. And ways that people can provide
57:27
support and that on providing support, military broadcast
57:31
radio can't. It does need some financial
57:34
support. And I just want to urge people,
57:38
if you're in that position, whether it be $10 a month,
57:42
whether it be whatever, you know, our nice, real nice
57:44
sponsorship, think about supporting military broadcast
57:49
radio and our mission that we have here.
57:52
It is legitimate. It is for real and it touches
57:56
individuals inside their minds and in their hearts.
58:00
And hopefully we also reach out to families of military members
58:05
and veterans, families that may have lost loved ones or just,
58:09
you know, may just have that patriotic little touch inside
58:13
their heart and soul that they want to be part of it.
58:16
Look, we really do have to sign up.
58:18
We got another show coming on immediately following us.
58:22
But hey, military, military broadcast radio is not about
58:27
making money. It's about giving veterans a
58:30
voice. And one more time, everybody,
58:32
while we're here, happy. Birthday.
58:34
Happy birthday. Thank you and.
58:43
Thank you H and and people like Ron just for sharing y'all's
58:46
knowledge with us and Terry, MJ, Amber, Eva for everybody's
58:52

58:56
